Let's get Megan to make us a Big Brake Kit. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

0100 · 07-31-2007, 04:26 PM

So who would like to have megan make a bbk for the S13/S14? They have a kit for the EVO and STI. People who have tested said it was great.

I would be down in a heart beat. Any vendors out there that can push this?

The EVO 4 wheel kit (6 piston front 4 piston rear) can be had for less than $3000.

Go China!

ixfxi · 07-31-2007, 04:28 PM

gaddamnit.

i wouldnt put ANY megan racing parts on my car. just the name alone makes me want to take a dump.

looks like knockoff bro-tora, which looks like knockoff brembo.

0100 · 07-31-2007, 04:28 PM

The also have a 350z kit.

Dude it's a 240sx not a Porsche. Of course it's a knockoff. Who the fuck cares. On my formula car I have alcons and stoptechs for my evo. My S13 will be getting straight china goodness.

TheSquidd · 07-31-2007, 04:33 PM

On the fence.

Yeah, Megan is cheap crap, knockoff stuff...blah blah blah, but I'll be damned they at least make some decent stuff sometimes. And it'd be nice to see some of the kids building 350hp sr20's have the stopping power they need not to kill themselves.

kdashy · 07-31-2007, 04:35 PM

I wouldnt be the first one to buy this, but megan sure is trying.

JDMS1lv1a · 07-31-2007, 04:38 PM

Big Brake Kit for an affordable price..hmm sounds good If you're not $ballin$

although ive heard some bad things about their parts

Ditto. Have you seen the broke and half welded suspension part?

0100 · 07-31-2007, 04:56 PM

Yup, weld it up and throw it on. lol

420sx · 07-31-2007, 05:06 PM

i just personally despise Megan.

CHEAP CHINESE SHIT. cant make anything worth a fuck. everything they make falls apart.

Attention walmart shoppers..... we got megan racing brake kits on sale! 15. 99

pbcstylez · 07-31-2007, 05:09 PM

i myself am chinese and wouldnt trust megan for anything, especially not BRAKES!

wtf... what are you trying to say? 240s dont deserve to have good parts put on the car??? That's like saying a porsche doesn't deserve good parts because it's not a ferrari. Well, enjoy your cheap "china goodness." freaken ricer...

Granted, megan stuff isn't known for quality. But, their parts are cheap and they get the job done.

TheSquidd · 07-31-2007, 05:12 PM

I think what he's saying is we can't all be expected to spend 8000$ on a brake system.

Full-Lock · 07-31-2007, 05:12 PM

megan racing
MEGAN RACING

that name is so gay

but hopefully megan doesnt make a bbk. megan shit is already all over, i dont want to see that logo or hear that name anymore.

megan racing hahaha

I like your reasoning.

If the car is cheap then so are the parts you put on it that keep you from running into a wall.

I wouldn't buy Megan brakes even if they were 200 dollars for the whole damn kit.

OptionZero · 07-31-2007, 05:16 PM

if your car comes with stock brembos (As EVO, STi, 350Z track do), why would you put megan brakes on?

people are motherfuckin retarded

3z brakes are already dirt cheap, q45's are even more so, and replacement stock parts can be had for free

DJ_Sunrise · 07-31-2007, 05:17 PM

$3000 for front and rear big brakes? Fuck that. I'd rather spend an extra hr before every race day swapping in race pads that can handle more heat than paying that much for big brakes. I personally wouldn't pay shit for upgraded brakes because the markup is so fucking high. On principle alone its fucking rediculous. Are there any Toyota calipers and rotors that fit on 240s???

-Bart

*fliprayzin240sx* · 07-31-2007, 05:20 PM

Fuck it, let the evo, sti, 350 guys upgrade so we can buy their used setups for our S-chassis. Anything is a fucking upgrade over the 2 piston caliper pieces of shiet...

Anyways, if your still not happy with a Z32 brake setup, do a search for what they use for upgrades. Slap those on, its all your ever gonna need. If this shiet wont stop a sub 3000lbs car, just aim for the wall...

there are lots of Nissan brakes that fit, so why would anyone bother with toyota?

you can get a two-piece, 12.75inch front rotor for less than $300 (each) and use them with 3z calipers (w/ adapter) or 350z brembos (w/ drilling)

and all that is already overkill

Lol dude I am the farthest thing from a ricer. I said my s13 is getting megan brakes. I am building a super cheap drift car to rag the shit out of that is my goal for this car. I can't afford to put real JDM parts on the s13, all the money went into jdm parts for the evo. I just bought a Ti front strut bar for the evo that cost me $400. I think I am crazy but I have a different goal with that car which is no expence spared time attack car. I have had many 240sx's in my day some all out and some not. My current one like I said is CHEAP. If I was building my s13 full out for time attacks then yeah I probably would go with something different. If my evo was a dd I would buy the megans. Good god I love the 240sx and have owned one longer than most members on here. Relax people.

Megans have a bigger diameter rotor, and 6 piston front 4 piston rear. The stock brembos suckon the EVO!

mRclARK1 · 07-31-2007, 05:39 PM

If Megan can't NOT fuck up a strut bar... I don't think I would trust anything they make that has moving parts, and especially when it is the only thing between stopping and dying in a high speed crash.

CKAMC · 07-31-2007, 05:43 PM

0100: so I should put on cheap, unreliable parts onto my daily driver because its not a race car

When its something as important as brakes I would fuck around with cheap shit.....

what happens if your in a "ohh shit" position? you slam on your brakes and *pop* something goes and now your still going as fast as ever into whatever it is because your brakes broke.

Yeah you can always fix a weld on a manifold, but when its a safety issue I rather put a little money on quality so I don't have anything to worry about.

Nikeboy355 · 07-31-2007, 05:47 PM

I wouldn't buy it...

There are enough brake options out there... Anyone who says they need more braking just need to get better pads first...

Pank · 07-31-2007, 05:54 PM

all megan brakes are trash, but i will not back it up with even anecdotal evidence because i have never run them nor have i heard any bad stuff about them, AND they're not even made yet, BUT i am stupid enough to believe they are made in the same factory that their strut tower bars are, and the same factory that their coilovers are, AND the same exact factory where their stickers are made, so all the quality assumptions are valid and not just wild speculation at this point.

IMHO though, i doubt they'll be cheap enough to warrant it, and people will still use Z and Q parts and achieve the same exact results.

so an EVO owner should buy a $3000 megan kit instead of just upgrading the pads and rotors? OMG 6/4 pistons!

you own a $35k car and u even think about megans u should be shot
